When choosing a campsite in New Mexico you should think about what sort of facilities you will need. Most sites include toilet and shower facilities as well as fresh water. You may want to look for a site that allows barbecues and that has a launderette and maybe a few shops. Some sites also offer sports facilities, shops, bars, and a few even have restaurants as well.

Choose a campsite in a good location that is close to all the attractions you want to visit or that is near to one of the five National Parks. You may need to book in advance if the site is very popular.
